When comparing Gqueues vs Todoist, the Slant community recommends Todoist for most people. In the question“What are the best to-do list apps for Android?”Todoist is ranked 4th while Gqueues is ranked 31st. The most important reason people chose Todoist is:

Todoist's web and desktop interfaces have a 2-column layout. The right column has all tasks organized in nested lists with color codes and information such as what people are assigned to each task and which project the task is part of. The left column offers ways of accessing various groups of tasks – tasks that have to be completed within a certain timeframe, tasks that are a part of a certain project or have certain labels attached to them, etc. The left column also contains filters that allow even more advanced ways of finding a group of tasks.
The mobile interface follows a similar design philosophy, but gives each column a separate view.

Minimalist UI that's designed for efficient use

Todoist's web and desktop interfaces have a 2-column layout.

The mobile interface follows a similar design philosophy, but gives each column a separate view.

Pro

Powerful search and filtering functionality

Todoist allows you to perform advanced queries to find tasks that are overdue, have a certain priority level or label, are within a certain project, are assigned to a certain person, or have a deadline set within a certain date range. It also allows combining different queries, removing certain results from the queries, and creating either/or statements.

These queries can be saved as filters for easy access. Filters can be color-coded.

Pro

Multiple ways to organize tasks

Tasks can be structured in nested lists. They can be moved around by dragging and dropping them or via keyboard shortcuts. Tasks can be assigned labels, color codes, priorities, and can also be grouped into projects.

Pro

Pro

Allows sharing and collaborating on tasks

Anyone can be invited to collaborate on tasks and projects. Users can work alongside five people for free and 25 via the paid version. Collaboration includes the ability to assign tasks, comment on tasks, and receive instant updates.

Pro

Monitors productivity and rewards it with karma

Visual scheduling

By clicking on a task and then selecting “schedule,” a dialog box will pop up with shortcuts like "today," "tomorrow," or "postpone until tomorrow." A date can still be entered manually.

You can easily program a digest email that will send you an up-do-date summary of your tasks and deadlines.

Pro

Tasks can be saved as templates by going to "task actions" and selecting "export as a template." The template will be saved locally. Saved templates can then be imported by going to "task actions" button and clicking "import from template." This allows you to use past task items as a starting point for creating new tasks.

Pro

Browser extension for "add website as task"

Bookmark any webpage as a to-do item.

Pro

Allows creating location-based reminders

Location-specific tasks can utilize the GPS in your mobile device to offer reminders when you are in the appropriate vicinity. For example, grocery lists that are linked to the location of your regular grocery store.

Super quick syncing

You can shift between devices without having to worry about if tasks have been synced or not. Todoist sync will always be quicker than you.

Smart Schedule (Let AI schedule your tasks)

Todoist Smart Schedule adapts to your habits over time, analyzing your workload and determining how urgent a task is. By using both your past todos and future todos (as well as the data from millions of other users), it can sort your tasks in most important/ most urgent order, if you want.

Typing # while entering a new task brings up the list of projects (and sub-projects) to assign the task to. Type in any letters of the project name to filter the list to a subset of projects that have those letters in them.

Cons

Con

Limited to use with Google apps only

Specifically developed for Google apps.

Con

Free version is limited

Full access requires a yearly subscription.

Con

Terrible widget

Con

Does not listen to user suggestions

Todoist has been shown to be fairly unresponsive to requests from their user community. An example can be seen here.

Con

Annual subscription required for notifications and attachments

Con

Awkward data entry

Several aspects of data entry are far more awkward than they should be: Adding notes, moving subtasks within the outline, and scheduling repeating tasks are all handled better by other apps. Adding notes cannot be done while creating the task, but must be done after. Moving items within the outline hierarchy is very clumsy and the use of keyboard shortcuts (such as holding down 2 or 3) requires knowledge of your current level in the hierarchy (which is not always clear). Finally, there is a natural language syntax for repeating tasks but it is very finicky and there is no good feedback mechanism to tell you whether or not it’s working.

Con

Heavy premium advertisement

There is a screaming red "Upgrade and get more done" badge fixed in the bottom of the view, and additional features free users cannot access.

Con

Labels (@contexts, etc.) only available with premium subscription

Con

No way to add additional info to a task

There is no metadata for the task itself, like a description. While a paid feature allows you to write comments and attach files, info could be lost in the conversation.

Con

Makes it too hard to see all tasks assigned to you across the app

There is no default or easy-to-access view to simply see all your tasks from all your different projects. You have to use the filter (to:me) which seems like too much effort for something that should really be a default view.

Con

Free version has limited functionality

Without a subscription you won’t have access to reminders, comments, or labels and filters. These are features that many users find essential, but aren't included without a subscription.

Con

Using "next" actions requires a messy workaround

Todoist was not designed for "next" actions. You can use a workaround by manually setting certain items as priority and then filtering them, but that process requires a lot more management than other tools.

Con

Not much independence of customising the layout

This has been a consistent "con" with Todoist. You cannot decide what should be the size of the fonts. You cannot switch between one-column layout and 2-column layout. You cannot view completed tasks. It is a brilliant application of course, but the development team is stuck on its basic idea of the app and after that they just haven't been developing further.

Con

Cannot import data

Con

Cannot export data

Con

Does not have a reminder snooze

Con

Mac Mail not supported

Even in the Pro version, Mac Mail is not supported for sending tasks as email attachments. There are some workarounds to send mail, but those attachments will still be impossible to forward.

Con

Very basic compared to alternatives

Compared to some other options, this is not a feature-rich app. The free version is not much better than keeping a text file of your to-dos.

Con

Lacks advanced task repeating options

For example: second Saturday of every 2 months.

Con

Can't mark all completed tasks uncompleted

It's possible to select multiple uncompleted tasks, but there's no way to select completed tasks.

Con

Naming convention for labels is very limited

No spaces or special chars are allowed.

Con

Recurring tasks are hard to set because the app only supports "natural language"

Con

Latest iPhone app only available for iOS 8 and above

The latest iPhone app is only available for iOS 8 and above, which excludes users with iPhone 4 or older models. Older versions of the app that can be used with previous iOS versions can be found here.
